Given that we almost allowed shariah law here for families that wanted to practice it (IN PLACE OF CANADIAN LAW), I'm not sure how much good it would do. I am not kidding. It was defeated, but it pops up over and over again. The Canadian left is in many ways a lost cause. The NDP (New Democratic Party) here actually has ties to communist countries, and sends envoys every so often. And you know all about the Liberal Party.

has anyone ever seen the series called the Underground Royal Commissions which looked at the serious problems with the military and Canadian governance overall, I even think there is a film on the UN too and their accounting and accountability problems, done quite a few years ago because Canada, when you consider its population of 30 million is one of the largest contributors to the UN

I get the i! channel which is an excellent documentary channel, they did an update on the series and one of the top ex military generals was saying they need like 25 billion just to get the military back to old or barely adequate levels, that there is going to be a massive exodus of experienced soldiers, instructors and mechanics starting about now because they are all reaching their first pension level and they are just sick and tired of the bs and being unappreciated and they can make way more money out in the private sector

my cousin is married to helicopter instructor for the Canadian military, based out of CFB Edmonton, he's retiring this summer at age 40, and my cousin said he would never ride in a Sea King, and a few other of the helicopters, they could court martial him if they wanted, which they never did

he's spent most of the last 10 years in Bosnia and he's in that wave of retiring soldiers who are just fed up.....

so now the Canadian military is really going to be in bad shape........

I'm going to make up a word here, but you will know what I mean, unfortunately:

dhimmitude.

Canada seems on that course...

Good luck.

RE: And you know all about the Liberal Party.

I posted this earlier on another thread. I thought it was also relevant here. It is a good example of why "Canada, the Nation" is in big trouble.The Canadian Liberal Party decided long ago that Canada is a brand to be marketed, like Coke. The Canadian Flag is treated like a logo.

Here is what The Canadian Ambassador to the USA said recently...

One aspect of this agenda is to sharpen the Canadian brand in the United States. I repeat they don’t know us very well. They like us but they really don’t know us. So I’m doing outreach visits to cities all across the United States and that supplements the work of all of our consulates and our honorary councils across the United States and we want to go even further than though and develop a well thought out, well executed branding exercise that will sharpen the focus of the Canadian brand in the United States of America.
